    Mamdani: 12-pt landslide victory

    Bloomberg: “Hey guys, you might want to back off this one, he seems a bit risky”

    Bloomberg: “Remember that time I pissed away a billion dollars to place fourth behind Liz Warren?”

      Either Mamdani is seen as ineffective, and just another Democrat who promised utopia but was unable to actually deliver on his lofty promises. Or, more dangerously, New Yorkers get a firsthand lesson on the dangers of socialism, sparking a considerable backlash against the Democratic Party as a whole.

      Slop indeed. Because it worked so we’ll for Bloomberg!

        I knew a couple of people who pulled some sweet do-nothing jobs on the campaign down in Texas. Nice work in the middle of the COVID dip. One was even a DSA Bernie Bro who just campaigned for Sanders while taking Bloomberg’s money.

      It’s about time that someone used the tone-deafness of billionaires as a weapon against them

      His radical, terrorist scheme to… checks notes …give New Yorkers some free or cheap produce and control the cost of some apartments, it will truly destroy our great nation.

      The Cuomo brothers are the most grifty, dishonest, lying, scheming pair of scumbags in media and politics. What’s wild is they even look like it.

    Ah.

    “Mike” Bloomberg.

    The only person rated less popular than Joe Biden in the 2020 primaries. (Before the other more popular candidates took favors, endorsed Biden, and bowed out… because of course priority #1 was to stop Bernie and not Donald.)

      It just depends on the topic. Klippenstein seems to upset a lot of the right people in the media.

    This headline is not wrong. I mean imagine if Dems actually started adopting positions that appeal to —gasp— ordinary people. I mean o my god. The plebs! Not the ducking plebs!
